A gambler needs psychotherapy, not new arguments. Many psychologists argue that gambling addiction is a serious mental disorder that requires professional help.
Psychotherapy helps identify the root causes of addiction and develop strategies to overcome them. I think without this in-depth work, any alternative exercise will not produce lasting results.
Yes, but arguments are also a form of therapy. There are many directions in modern psychology and all these directions try to treat their client or patient in their own way. This is the so-called worldview therapy - when psychologists correct the patient’s worldview.
You know what’s funny? All the folks in there would come up with some form of incognito gambling within those walls, like a secret way of betting or playing poker or something like that exchanging notes and developing a system or something like that I am convinced that something like this would happen. What else would happen when you put a bunch of gambling addicts under one roof? lol
Yes, that's a funny guess. If you imagine that many gambling addicts have gathered under one roof, then they will probably be looking for some kind of game that everyone can play.
